Denis Goldberg (b. 1933), who has devoted his entire life to fighting oppression, spent twenty-two years in a South African prison for his work on behalf of the African National Congress. Festival O/Modernt returns to the folkloric roots of music in a concert that commemorates the struggle for human freedom in numerous guises, including BACH’s Goldberg Variations, the Argentinian OSVALDO GOLIJOV’s Dreams and Prayers of Isaac the Blind and works for the Ud by the Egyptian Joseph Tawadros
